At the bottom of the sea, behind a huge coral, Lu Ping quietly lay there and looked at everything in front of him.
After a while, Lu Ping turned his head and looked at Samling behind him, then looked at Dagui who was further away and asked, "Dagui, are you sure this is Dao Master Ao Yu's cave abode?"
Lu Dagui moved his four legs, his huge head stretched and shrank in the turtle shell, and said sullenly, "The terrain here is exactly the same as when I came with Dao Master Lu Hai. There's no mistake. The underwater valley ahead is where his cave abode is, but his cave abode is heavily guarded, and there's a cave protection formation protecting it. I'm afraid it's very difficult for master to enter."
After Lu Ping came here through the hidden teleportation formation outside the cave abode, Lu Dagui suddenly recognized that this place was in the deep sea demon region that he went to with Dao Master Lu Hai last time, near the location of Dao Master Ao Yu's cave abode.
Lu Ping knew that his previous speculation was wrong. Now that Ao Yu killed Dao Master Li Xuanyin and faced the pursuit of Zhenling's sect cultivators, he certainly didn't have time to return to his cave abode. However, since Lu Ping was here, there was no reason to return empty-handed.
Lu Ping thought for a while and let Samling transform into his original form. His shrunken body climbed onto Lu Dagui's body, and then let Lu Dagui swim to Dao Master Ao Yu's cave abode, while Lu Ping followed behind.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the valley ahead. Lu Ping knew that Dagui and the others had already attracted the attention of the demon race guarding the cave abode. Lu Ping reached into the spirit pet bag and dug. Dabao just came out, and before he could celebrate his regained freedom, a terrifying pressure came to him.
Dabao, who opened his mouth to breathe, only let out two bubbles. A pale yellow light flashed on his body and wrapped him in it, but this layer of pale yellow light shield was quickly crushed by the pressure of the deep sea.
Dabao looked at his master helplessly. Lu Ping had no choice but to stuff the Water Repelling Moon Pearl into Dabao's mouth.
As the terrifying pressure around him lightened, Dabao immediately became active. Lu Ping gave Dabao a few instructions and then pointed to the location of Dabao's cave residence. Dabao raised his forelimbs and actually made a gesture of patting his chest to reassure Lu Ping. Then, he plunged into the underwater mountain range, leaving behind a somewhat incredulous Lu Ping. How could Dabao support his fat pig-like body with two hind legs?
After a long time, Lu Ping realized that he was in the sea and not on land.
After a while, Lu Dagui's body, which was almost ten feet in circumference, swam towards Lu Ping's direction.
Lu Ping frowned and said, "Where is Samling?"
Lu Dagui said helplessly, "The three of them took advantage of the time when I used the excuse of visiting Dao Master Ao Yu to attract the guards of the cave residence and quietly ran into the valley."
Only then did Lu Ping remember that after Samling advanced to the Core Forging Stage, he comprehended a magical power inherited from the Green Sea Snake's bloodline, called "Water Transformation". It could turn his whole body into a pool of invisible water and quietly sneak into the valley.
Lu Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly. "These three mischievous guys always cause trouble for me. Get ready to help them. The magical power of Water Transformation can't last for too long. If the valley is heavily guarded, the three of them will definitely be discovered."
Sure enough, not long after, there was a sudden scream from the demon beasts in the valley. Turbulent waves of magic power were followed by a series of roars.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Ping broke into the valley and found that it was already a pot of porridge. Not far away, there were several corpses lying on the ground. Most of them were demon beasts in the Blood Condensation Stage. Lu Ping extended his divine sense and immediately captured Samling's current situation.
At this time, Samling was surrounded by demon beasts. However, the demon beasts surrounding them didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them. Instead, they formed an encirclement. A mid-stage Core Forging Stage demon cultivator stood in the middle of the encirclement and fought with Samling. In the distance, there were a few mid-stage Core Forging Stage demon beasts who seemed to be watching the battle. At the same time, they were pointing and talking excitedly.
Lu Ping suddenly felt relieved. Obviously, these demon beasts thought Samling was a child who had mistakenly entered this place to play. Moreover, Samling had cultivated to the Shapeshifting Stage at such a young age. Obviously, he had a relatively noble bloodline among the demon beasts. He might even be a junior from a large clan who came to seek novelty. These demon beasts naturally didn't want to offend him.
Samling followed Lu Ping everywhere. Although he had only cultivated for a short period of time, he had seen a lot and was quite clever. Naturally, he had already discovered the intentions of the surrounding demon beasts. He immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to attract the attention of the guarding demon beasts and prepare for Lu Ping to sneak into the cave mansion. Therefore, Samling's attacks became more and more fierce. For a moment, the mid-stage Core Forging Stage demon beasts were defeated by Samling, who was only at the first stage of the Core Forging Stage.
In the hands of the three spirits, there were now magic weapons carefully refined by Chen Lian. In the hands of Lu Qing was a thirty-foot long Wind Forest Whip, in the hands of Lu Hai was a huge Heaven Halberd, and in the hands of Lu Linger was a pair of exquisite and sharp Ice Daggers.
Lu Hai was the main attacker with the Heaven Halberd in his hand. Lu Qing was floating in the sea, and a Wind Forest Whip was restraining the Middle-stage Core Forging Realm demon cultivator on the opposite side. Lu Linger was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing around the demon cultivator. The pair of ice daggers were like the poisonous fangs in her mouth. Once the opponent came into contact with her daggers, a cold chill would pass through the opponent's clothes and magical weapon and go straight into the body, as if to freeze the opponent's Zhen Yuan.
The demon beasts who dealt with Samling cursed. Although his cultivation was much higher than Samling's, he was restrained in the battle against Samling. It was difficult for him to exert his strength. Moreover, the three little snakes in front of him were the children of unknown families. They were so difficult to deal with when they joined hands. Originally, the demon beasts wanted to play with these three children, but he did not expect that he would become the object of ridicule by these fellow cultivators around him.
Lu Ping sneaked into the depths of the valley with the "Art of Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea". He secretly sighed that these demon beasts guarding the valley were so lax. However, when he arrived at the valley, Lu Ping's eyes flashed with blue light. Looking at this Defensive Formation, Lu Ping understood the reason.
Although Lu Ping was not a formation master, he often exchanged cultivation experiences with Hu Lili, so Lu Ping was no stranger to formations. On the contrary, because of the mysterious purple jade slip that Lu Ping brought out of Fei Ling Island, some of the fantastic ideas that Lu Ping proposed had inspired Hu Lili a lot, causing Hu Lili to often sigh that it was a pity that Lu Ping did not become a formation master.
Looking at the cave mansion shrouded in white light, Lu Ping frowned. Lu Ping had only seen a formation of this level in some of the inheritance places on Tian Ling Mountain. Moreover, because of the existence of Tian Ling Mountain's Defensive Formation, these formations guarding the inheritance places were not fully activated. Even so, the power of those formations still surprised Lu Ping. But now, what Lu Ping was facing was a fully activated formation. Even if Dharma Form Laozu came, it would not be easy to break this formation easily.
Lu Ping hid in an inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the valley. He stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the ground. Dabao, who had the Water and Moon Avoiding Pearl in his mouth, drilled out of the ground with a dejected expression. As Lu Ping expected, such a powerful Defensive Formation had obviously isolated Dabao's Earthmeld Technique.
Dagui had determined that this was the cave mansion of Daoist Master Ao Yu. When Daoist Master Lu Hai used Dagui as a mount at the bottom of the sea, he personally handed over the treasures sent from the East Sea to Daoist Master Ao Yu here.
Just when Lu Ping was a little helpless, there was a sudden burst of cheers in the valley. The battle between the Samling and the middle stage Core Forging Realm beast cultivator had been decided. The middle stage Core Forging Realm cultivator had just gotten rid of Lu Qingfeng's Forest Whip, but his shoulder was pierced by Lu Linger's Ice Dagger. A bitter cold penetrated into his Zhen Yuan, causing half of the middle stage Core Forging Realm beast cultivator's body to be numb. Lu Hai took the opportunity to pass the halberd to the beast cultivator's throat.
The noise of the surrounding beast cultivators lasted for a long time. The sound of ridicule and abuse was heard everywhere. Obviously, it was because a middle stage Core Forging Realm cultivator had been defeated by three little guys who had just advanced to the Core Forging Realm not long ago.
Just when Lu Ping had the intention to retreat, the Protective Formation at the bottom of the valley actually operated on its own. A bright light appeared from the formation and penetrated outside the cave mansion. Obviously, someone was going to come out of the cave mansion.
Lu Ping was shocked. Is there someone in the cave mansion? Could it be that Daoist Master Ao Yu had already returned to his cave mansion?
At this time, Lu Ping was so close to the Protective Formation. Even with the Rock Armor, Lu Ping was not sure that he could avoid the detection of a ninth level Core Forging Realm master.
Thinking of the power that Lu Ping saw in the distance that day, Daoist Master Xuanyin and the middle-aged cultivator who might be Daoist Master Ao Yu showed. Although Lu Ping's cultivation had improved, he also knew that he was not an opponent of Daoist Master Xuanyin, a ninth level Core Forging Realm cultivator.
Back then, Daoist Master Ao Yu had yet to reach the Gold Core stage. However, he was able to stand up to Daoist Master Li Xuanyin as an equal. If Daoist Master Ao Yu had also reached the Gold Core stage, his strength would likely be above Daoist Master Li Xuanyin.
Lu Ping slapped Dabao into the ground. At the same time, he carefully retracted his aura and hid in a corner, not daring to move. At the same time, a water whip appeared in his hand. At present, the Golden Scale Sword was still in Daoist Master Enigma Flame's hand. After thinking about it for a long time, he was not confident that he could personally upgrade the Golden Scale Sword. Instead, he handed it over to his teacher.
The activation of the Mansion Protecting Array had clearly alarmed the yao guards who were watching the battle between Samling and the other yao cultivators. Including the yao cultivator that Samling defeated earlier, there were a total of three mid-stage Core Forging Realm yao cultivators and five early-stage Core Forging Realm yao cultivators. The rest were half-step Transformation Realm yao cultivators at the Blood Condensation Realm. They all had strange appearances. Some had the head of a shrimp, some had the head of a human, and some had the body of a fish. However, when they saw the activation of the Mansion Protecting Array, their expressions turned solemn and they stood up straight.
A passageway appeared from the bottom of the valley, passing through the Mansion Protecting Array. Lu Ping narrowed his eyes. Traces of cyan light seemed to flash within them as he looked at the passageway.
A young cultivator, who appeared to be about the same age as Lu Ping, walked out with an arrogant expression on his face. When Lu Ping saw that this cultivator's face was 80% similar to that of Daoist Master Ao Yu, he breathed a long sigh of relief. It was just a sixth-level Core Forging Realm cultivator. Additionally, he did not notice Lu Ping.
The young yao cultivator frowned and turned to look behind him. It seemed as though he had overlooked something. However, he then turned to look at the scattered cultivators in the valley and shouted, "Why is it so noisy?"
The cultivators in the valley were as silent as cicadas in winter. The young cultivator's eyes turned sharp and he immediately turned to look at Samling, who was standing alone in the middle of the valley. His face sank greatly and he pointed at Samling and exclaimed, "Bi, Green Sea Snake?"
His voice had only just faded when a cold killing intent seeped out from the back of his head.
